Arrived late and left early! It was a good place to sleep. Breakfast starts at 4:30am, which is nice if you want to leave early for Machu Picchu.

right next to buses to machu picchu. close to everything. wifi was terrible. frosted glass in door let in hallway light at night. some basic repairs needed in room. noise from, i guess house behind hotel, sharing common air shaft. could hear conversations, music, phone calls. not recommended.

Great experience! Edison was SO helpful in getting us to the hostal, purchasing Machu Picchu and bus tickets, and making our experience carefree and amazing. Warm water, a little noisy, great location next to the bus to Machu and train station, breakfast starting at 4:00 a.m, and very affordable!

The hostel is located very near to the railway station and the bus terminal to Machu Picchu and the town centre The room is clean with hot and cold shower and WIFI is available in each floor. The staff is helpful is providing whatever information that is needed.

We arrived during black-out. Nobody showed up to pick us up at the train station (maybe they couldn't have seen our e-mail?) so it was hard to find the place with no electricity in the streets. Afterwards, we discovered it was actually close from the station.
We were given a room and a lamp. Two persons tried to enter our room during the night, really stressful.
A lovely granny made us basic breakfast at 4.30am.
Good shower, no wifi (black-out) and the best bed we have had in Perou.

The location was perfect - two minute walk to catch the bus that takes you to Machu Pichu. Other than that, this place wasn't great. The staff was nice, but didn't speak any English. We reserved a room with a double bed, but instead got two singles. The walls are paper thin so you can hear people from other rooms and on the street. We were supposed to get breakfast, but never specified a time so that never happened.

Our room didn't have a toilet seat. The proprietor's son laughed about this and didn't offer to fix it. When it hadn't been fixed the second day, the son said this was because we had taken our key and he couldn't get in. Minutes later he opened our friend's room with a pass key, so this obviously wasn't true.
We took our keys because there was usually no one at the desk and the street door was open. The television didn't work and people were up and down stairs at all hours of the night.

This hostel is in a good location. My room had an excellent view of the rapids coming down the mountain. It is surrounded by restaurants, a block from the bus and train station, and a 10 min walk to the Hot Springs. The front desk was very kind and the breakfast was bread and jam with your choice of eggs on the side. All served with tea and juice. I very relaxing stay after the 4 day Inca trail and they had hot showers with good water pressure. I highly recommend!
